INTERTWINED
Ch 2: Surprise, surprise
Kakashi just finished making what he would call a fantastic dinner; soup, toast, and a glass of water. He was just about to take a sip of his soup when he heard a knock on the door.
Now, who could that be so late in the night?
He quickly puts back on his mask and goes to the door, and he opens to find his new neighbor. "Hello Sakura, what do you need?"
I hope she doesn't turn into one of those bothersome neighbors.
"Well Kakashi, I've heard the funniest thing about you on the way home and I'd love to tell you."
I do not like where this is going.
"Uh, alright, please come in," Sakura slide past him as he made room from in front of his doorway. She saw his incredibly bland dinner and heard music playing in the background. "Are you listening to Michael Buble?" He walked over to his radio and turned it off, "Not any more." She said coyly, "I thought that only love sick and romantic people listen to him." Kakashi sighed, "What is it you wanted to tell me?" She told him all that she heard and she saw his uncovered cheek turn a slight shade of pink. "That's some very interesting information you heard Sakura. Gosh, look at the time! You really should be going." Kakashi was pushing her to the door as she was stuttering, "But, but, but." Once she was outside he said, "I'll see ya later." He was about to shut the door when Sakura stopped him, "Please Kakashi, I have a favor to ask you."
Man, I really don't like where this is going.
She continued, twiddling her fingers nervously, "Um, I was wondering if…well, if all those rumors were true, I was hoping you could teach me how to be more…romantic." Now Kakashi understood it was just another attempt to get to Sasuke. He sighed, "Sakura, I'd like to help you, but I'm not the type of person to teach kids how to kiss each other." Sakura got annoyed, "I'm not a kid anymore! Why doesn't anyone see that?" Kakashi quickly said, "My apologies, I know you're a grown woman now. Even so, I may be a teacher, but not that kind of teacher. Good night Sakura." He stopped for a moment as he saw Sakura's face, and he realized he must have hit a weak point. He closed his door and sighed.
Aw, I didn't mean to hurt the girl's feelings. No, if I want to make it up to her I'll have to see her as a woman now. But, I'm not teaching her how to get a date. She can do that herself, but then again, she's been trying to do that ever since she saw Sasuke…
Kakashi dismissed the thought, he was not going to teach her some ridiculous love tactics, and it was utterly insane. He tried to eat his dinner, but couldn't as he heard her muffle sobs on the other side of the wall. Feeling guilty, he turns on his radio again to drown out the other noise. He drags himself to bed and lies down, "Great, just great," He whispers to himself as he falls asleep.
